JULY 15, 1S70, A Death in Battle. The battle of Aliwal was fought on the 28th day of January, 1846, At one time, the Sikh cavalry. had well nigh captured Sir Harry Smith himself, who was obliged to shift his .position in consequence. - At this moment, an officer on his staff was struck down by a fi agment of shell, which shatter- ed his right thigh and hip joint in a hpidous manner: Some men of his troop, 'seeing hini fall, obtained leave to run to his assis- tance and in a 'few m - 'pule he « as on a stretcher, and being carried to the rear. The men were devoted to him, and they car- ried him through that dreadful field or -slaughter„with as mucli.care Is if conveying a. baby in its cradle. When within a short distance of the staff surgeonns tent, they carne upon a private of the, ” the iegivent, --lying .desperately. wounded.: The poor fellow looked up piteously and touched his cap, as he recognized his officer: in agony on a b Y the stretcher,: Captain C called to his men to halt, and to raise hire up slightly leaning over, lie soon saw the nature of the soldiers' " wound, which was far less danger- ous than his own. "Let me out," he said, "I can't move-; you lift me out, ,that'll do, .gently—yes, that's broken too, (as they touched his spine)` ,,,So—now ariy him to the doctors ; tney can do nothing for me, not too late for /um yet—just a .little more so --facing the en- emy—that's it. " But, sir— " remonstrated one of the men. "Be quick with him, then tonne back; I'm not likely to have left this," he added, with a slight smile. !The- men did as ordered, and depositing the wounded trooper, they returned to Cap- tain G' He, had pot indeed left, that, he lay facing the enemy still., and.the playful smile with which he had addressed to them his last words, lingered yet on his face ; but his troubles were over; victory or defeat w ere now alike to him, and he had left the ° field of strife for the peaceful world where dwell the spirits of th.ejust made perfect.. 4. The instances of m en hopelessly wounded refusing to monopolize the doctor €ire ° nu means rare; and if the battle -field is some- times the scene of outrages at which hu- manity shudders, it occasionally provides us with instances of unsurpassed- heroism ...with self-sacrifice. ... Responsibilities of a Sea -Captain. If we regard the ship as allying monster. forcing its way uy its own peculiar organ of locomotion through those, billows and storriis, we must considei the state -room of the car tain as the, seat of its brain. The du- -,:ties of the commander of a sea -going steamer i ae not only., extremely various, butthey involve the possession of a combination of mental qualities and - attainments most di verse in their character, many of them be- ing such -as are seldom conferred by nature, and are very difficult of attainment, but which are absolutely- essential to the sticcess- ful execution of his charge. - He must be a good ruler. No monarch can be' more 8,1)- saute bsolute than he in the control of everything on board his ship, from m the time his clisnis- sing the pilot at the commencement of his. voyage, to his taking the pilot. at the -end of it. He has, however, three different communities to govern, entirely distinct from each other, and involving quite dif- ferent methods and principles of treatment in the einergenciesthat occur.. Tliey are; first, the company of cabin passengers; sec- ondly, the ship's company, consisting of sea- - men, engineers, firemen, cooks, and stew- ards, sometimes amounting to hundreds in, number; and, thirdly, the emigrants—a bo- dy of men, women and - children, to the number often of more than a thousand. Tlius the commander of one of these ships has:-en- trusted en-tusted to his charge a heteroge ueous com- munity of oue or two thousand souls,° -enough to form the _population of quite _ a town.— These, all packed together in the closest 'quarters, in the ship -which he -con mands,'he has the responsibility of conveying through Mists and gales, and driving storms of sno w antt rain, breasting the heaviest seas, and treading his tortuous way among tides and currents and mountains of floating ice, with. only a plank between his little world of human hopes and fears and the world of waters, which, when in their angry moods, rage and roar around him, as- if eager to make the ship and its contents the_ it prey: He, has to find his way over this pathless deep, by means of stars which are constant- ly in notion, and by the sun, •which on two days pursues the same trach through the skies. The needle of his compass is liable to be disturbed in its indications by many causes. A' blow struck upon any portion of his iron ship may derange it; and -upon the variation of his chronometer to the am- ount of the fraction of a second during tire voyage the question may depend whether he.shhall strike upon a rock or outer the port in safety at the end of it. One would suppose that the solicitude and anxiety which would attend the sustaining r nb of re- sponsibilities like these would be over- . •whelming. But they are not so. No class amen enjoy better health, or perhaps lead lives of greater freedom from anxiety and care, than these commanders: The rea- son is that they are- as a class thoroughly qualified for their work; and men do easily what they do well. --From "The Ocean Steamer," by Jacob Abbott, in H arper's Magazine_ for July. r She wholoves show is unquallified to show love. We should, therefore, avoid contract- ing an intimate friendship with a female whose love of the gay and .frivolous has closed her heart to the influence of . heroic virtues.

Another fountain of ill -health is found in the improper indulgence of man's passions. We do not allude to thosedebaucheries which vice keeps, and which the word of.

BIRCHING YOUNG LADIES.--Uiicler the heading of `Birch Tortures,' an account was given; in the ;Siam/ay Post, a few -weeks ago, tie lel e e e- i - n t d s d b Ln n i 1) e 1. c often of .the style of corporal punishment in. vog in many British schools. A e;tory is' to now, of,a; spirted girl who, in one of thes schools, broke some of the regulations; th ppenalty of which was a whipping. She r belled, and refused to snbtnit to the cast gation. Her parents were written to fo permission to restrain her. She being a officer's daughter, word was sent that disci; -line must be enforced; she must resign hei self, to the punishment. She would no -yield, and therefore, was forcibly tied clown exposed, and flogged. ` As a further pen alty for mutiny, she was compelled to spen her vacation at school. She was 16 year of age, and the insult and indignity offe,re to her womanhood rankled. With her your cousin, a midshipman, she concocted a pl for revenge. Seizing the opportunity whe -the household were abroad, and the riratr•oi alone, obedient to a signal, the rnidshil>ivau was on on Band, and assisted to gag and atm the matron down. Then he disappeared Wand the young lady, appropriating the sain instrument with which she had been tor tared, leather thongs; "«lith all her strengtl laid them upon the bare person of her in etructor, whom slie then left to regain li betty as best she could, while she sought th protection' of an uncle. IIer relative, who was rich and powerful, while appearing to censure, really espoused her cause, negotiat eel with her parents, and finding her em Uttered against them and unwilling to re turn'home, finally adopted her. <�-_ FRANKNESS ILLUSTRATED! Some persons profess great love of, frankness; they would have no concealments among friends or even acquaintances, but would let every man let his thoughts be seen as plainly as if he liad a pane of glass in his breast. Miss Mitford in one of her letters recently published, tellsn anecdote of Goodwin, the author 'Cale Williams,' which is a good comentary on this doctrine. 'Godwin was once visit- ing.a friend of hers, in company with.. Cu - ran, and pretended, as usual. to go to sleep after dinner. That it was only . make-be- lieve was, however, very visible, and Curan seized the opportunity to treat his worthy host with a character of Godwin the most bitter that his malice could invent, qualify- ing every phrase with, 'though he ismy - b friend.' The contortions of the philosopher, who dared not show that he was awake du ring this castigation, and the pretended fear which Curran showed of awakening him, the concealed anger of the one when he did venture to open his eyes, and the as- sumed sumed innocense of the other—formed a scene, says Miss Milford, which no comedy ever equalled: ' The advocate of sincerity, the frank philosopher, Godwin, never for- gave this- practical exemplification of his theory. or• A Florence nobleman recently received a letter, with which he was threatened with death unless he laid 4,000 florins the next day in one of the city fountains. The no- bleman at once took the letter to the police authorities, and then laid the demanded mo- ney in the appointed fountain. The next day a. finely-dre§sed young man cautiously approached the fountain, and was taking to have him releasecl have a5 yet proved un- availing.
